Romeo and Juliet had the right idea. About dating the enemy, that is. They were true to their hearts.
Kaitlin Malone knows what it’s like to date the enemy. She was raised to hate the Crutchfields, and absolutely does—until she meets Bram Crutchfield. It turns out he’s a great guy, one she can talk to, share things with…even love. But when Kaitlin gives her heart to Bram, her world spins out of control. Soon the Crutchfields are her friends and she’s a traitor to her own family.
To make things worse, Bram was raised to hate the Malones, especially Kaitlin’s father—who murdered Bram’s dad. Bram doesn’t know Kaitlin is a Malone. If he did, he’d hate her too.
What’s a star-crossed lover to do?

"I absolutely loved this book. It is about a boy and a girl from 2 feuding families who fall in love. Sound familiar? Though there are many similarities between this book and Romeo and Juliet, Scribbler of Dreams is still distinctively unique. For one, it takes place in the modern day in California between two feuding farm-owning families: the Crutchfields and the Monroes. Kaitlin Monroes's Mom sent her to public school for the first time since money was getting tight, but told her to use a fake name, because most of the locals side with the Crutchfields. Because of this alias,Bram Crutchfield doesn't know that his new girlfriend is a Monroe. How will he react when he finds out of Kaitlin? Will this story end in tragedy like Romeo and Juliet? Or will they live happily ever after? You better read it to find out, because I am NOT going to spoil this book for anyone." — Stephanie (5 out of 5 stars)

" It was a pretty good book. Everything a Romeo and Juliet story is, I just didn't like how the author carried the lying out for so long. That really didn't make any sense. I did have a happy ending though. "

" I loved this book! This was probrably the best book that I read this year out of a library. Usaually, I buy the book then I read it, but this was an acception. Absoulutly loved- no ADORED- this book! I wish I could rate more than 5 stars. *Pouty Face* "

" Nothing special. I just kept listening to it because I didn't have any other audio books. I really liked one of Mary Pearson's other books, but this was a lame twist on the Romeo and Juliet story. All about the romance and not much of a plot. "
" I cannot even begin to tell how much I adore this story. My friend gave me this book for my birthday when I was in junior high. I have probably read it 100 times. It's a quick read, and the story is clever and it pulls you in right from the beginning. I highly recommend it. "
" I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK! I THINK IT IS BETTER THAN TWILIGHT! IT HAS THE SAME IDEA, ONLY IT GETS TO THE POINT FASTER AND IN A BETTER WAY! IF I COULD ONLY READ ONE BOOK IN MY LIFE, THIS WOULD BE THE ONE! "
" A modern-day retelling of Romeo and Juliet. I guess I just prefer the original. I can see why it was one of my students' favorites last year, but it is definitely a YA book. The writing is adequate. The main character wraps herself into a huge web of lies, and "hiarity ensues." "
" One of my old FAVS!! Bought it on a whim in middle school and was so happy I did. Its a modern version of the classic Romeo and Juliet; a very easy read. "
" I would very much love to call this a clean book but a few, not so choice, words ruin it's incredible depth and passion. Such a beautifully told tale of hate and change deserves better. "
" Scribbler of Dreams was the best book I've read so far this school year!! It has a great mix of anticipation and romance. I recomend it to any young adult readers who love suspense and romance! "
" A modern retelling of Romeo & Juliet. Pearson's book was a quick read, though lack the real heartbreak found in the play that inspired her novel. It was all right, but nothing that I'd go out of my way to read again. "
" I enjoyed this book because it was like a modern day Romeo and Juliet, it also shows how one thing could ruin lives until someone has the guts to make a change, I read this book on 5/13/11 "
